thanks flickr :D
sooc,
so when we were raking today we had to fill the trailer woth leaves, and this little flower was in there all alone with a bunch of leaves.
poor flower. ):
My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

I don't know which one I'm keeping,
I had like twenty to pick from and I hate that because I like all of them haha.
I'd like to apologize about how bright it is in the back,
and if your eyes are bleeding again I'm very sorry.
SO hahaha sorry but today I was falling in my bathroom and I grabbed on to the towel rack and pulled one side of it out of the wall... haha, I mean really now... it's like when I'm trying to save myself from dying I break something else,
my mom was like "WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?! I CAN'T FIX THIS."
Oh goodness.
OH and I have something on my sensor,
so when my dad comes home I gotta get that off,
I'm too afraid to do it myself,
and Regina Spektor's new CD is so amazing,
my friend told me about it and thank goodness she did because I've been listening to it non-stop.

I just want to say that I think half my flickr is pictures of me,
uhm I'm really sorry about that haha,
I just feel like self-portrait photography is sometimes easiest for me.
I hope you don't mind.

Listening to the quiet music of all those leaves,
which shortly will fall and been blown away......
Star of hope for my Hero Husband.... Why?
I sent him off at 6am on Monday morning, for his long drive to France where he works.... Shortly before 9am I saw with shock that he left ALL his keys on his desk.... Sent him an SMS and was ordered to meet him 'back' at the Swiss border to hand over the missing and very important stuff!!!!
I couldn't even offer him to meet up somewhere in France as the week before I handed in ALL my official papers to get a NEW passport and a NEW 'Carte d'Identité'.... thus leaving me high and dry in my native Switzerland!!!
We met over a coffee - at 10am - in St. Cergue and Hero Husband (or should I call him now Very Forgetful Husband?) smiled all over his tired face when he hugged me, saying: I am SO happy to meet you again so soon.... Could YOU scold him when he's being so charming?! Surely not - So I buried my 'lost' morning, took some photos and went back home....
I would like to dedicate this shot to Alex -algo - , my dear Master of Mist & Fog...., but differently to HIS photos; my photo here doesn't show the mist in the background at all, only the bright sunshine (star-shine?) in the foreground. BUT Alex, I did take the photo with YOU in mind... :))))
Now, dear friends, please go and visit his exceptional photostream! Forget about me, HE is the 'nature hero' in my eyes!!!
As always, you might want to see this on Black and Larger!

Thanks so much for my eighth EXPLORE! March 8, Highest #279
This is a Mascot II Exposure Meter from 1957, it was marketed specifically at Ladies (by General Electric) as they felt the original Mascot model (which came in Black) did not appeal to women. It sits neatly inside it's original leather case, comes with the instruction booklet and is in great working condition (it just needs a good dusting).
It came with the (1964) Voigtlander Vito CLR which I recently bought. My new addiction is Vintage Cameras, so be warned, you may be seeing some more vintage cameras and accessories!

After visiting an art exhibition at Studio 36 in Exeter yesterday I took a few photos of sculptures in the garden following a torrential downpour.

This shot revisits some of my personal favourites. The look down, the footprints in fresh snow and the snow covered bushes. The shadows are an additional bonus! Ive changed this to black and white by draining the colour. Not sure if there is a better way to do this change:)

The fenced area has expanded to almost four times the pevious size, they have gotten things to explore and are starting to realize that the world isn't flat.

- La llum no era gaire bona degut als núvols, peró al creuar el pont vaig veure que el reflexe al riu i, aquesta vegada sí, vaig baixar del cotxe per poder fer la foto des del pont. La llàstima és que no ha quedat gaire il.luminada, peró m´agrada com es reflexen la casa i l´arbre :-)
- La luz no era muy buena debido a las nubes, pero al cruzar el puente vi el reflejo en el rio y, esta vez sí, bajé del coche para hacer la foto desde el puente. La lástima es que no ha quedado bien iluminada, pero me gusta como se reflejan la casa y el árbol :-)
The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

To me, it looks like a little mud monster, drowing and calling out for help, lol! Taken at the fascinating Fountain Paint Pot location in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US. More info later about this hot, bubbling mud, but I must get ready to dash out, and the snow is falling (again), so I have to leave enough time to clear my car. Hopefully, it will be just snow and not a layer of almost impossible ice to scrape, too.
Ha, just HAD to share this YouTube video (thanks, Dave!). It never pays to tease a frog!
